2010年6月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)六級(jí)寫作經(jīng)典范文及點(diǎn)評(píng)

　　Studying Overseas

　　Study overseas can be the adventure of a lifetime, and the majority of these experiences are healthy and safe. But, unless some simple precautions are taken, a young person living without a parent in a foreign country can encounter cultural disorientation and real, physical dangers. While auto and motorcycle accidents are a primary cause for concern, there are a host of other factors that need to be considered①, preferably, well in advance of a student’s departure②.

　　There are the familiar risks of unsafe sex and illegal drugs. No different from home, you say? Traveling students and their parents often don’t realize how cultural and legal differences can enhance these “risk factors.” Simply put, what is “safe” or tolerated behavior in the United States can be interpreted quite differently in a foreign country.

　　In a strange place with new rules, even responsible teenagers may occasionally “l(fā)ose their heads” and take chances that they wouldn’t normally take, like traveling unaccompanied to a strange country, not telling anyone where they are, or buying or selling on the black market. As a result, young travelers can easily find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

　　Still, college students often reason that “horror stories” about incarcerated Americans overseas “will never happen to me!” In his MP article Legal Rights of Travelers, international law expert Jeffrey R. Miller describes some of the penalties facing the errant traveler. These can be extreme by American standards.

　　However, safety is indeed everyone’s responsibility. The school program, the parents and the student all need to take part. Avoid potentially troublesome situations because as a foreigner you are more vulnerable. Be more cautious than at home. Here’s an obvious but critically important safety rule: Always let someone know where you are and never travel alone.

　　行文點(diǎn)評(píng)

　　文章第一段便指出，出國(guó)留學(xué)除了考慮健康和人身安全之外，還要考慮到更多其他的因素。第二段指出最常見的安全隱患。第三段指出陌生環(huán)境下孩子們可能的反常行為。第四段指出孩子們對(duì)安全問題掉以輕心的態(tài)度。第五段總結(jié)全文，并提出了一些安全建議。

　　本文語(yǔ)句十分地道，句式多樣。段落之間存在的一些具有連接功能的詞語(yǔ)，如still, however等，讓文章連貫性更強(qiáng)。

　　好文妙譯

　　留學(xué)在外

　　我們將出國(guó)留學(xué)看作是生命中的一次冒險(xiǎn)。在留學(xué)過程中，最需要考慮的是你的健康和人身安全。除非你預(yù)先做一些安排，否則的話，一個(gè)年少的孩子生活在遠(yuǎn)離父母的異地他鄉(xiāng)，可能會(huì)面臨一些文化困擾，或者某種真正的、傷及人身的危險(xiǎn)。尤其是由汽車或者摩托車而造成的事故。另外我們最好在孩子臨行之前，預(yù)先考慮到更多其他的因素。

　　其中最常見的就是被視為洪水猛獸的性和毒品問題了。你認(rèn)為這和你在國(guó)內(nèi)沒有什么不同嗎?留學(xué)生和他們的父母并沒有認(rèn)識(shí)到這種文化和法律的差異會(huì)加劇這類冒險(xiǎn)因素。簡(jiǎn)單地說，美國(guó)人眼中所謂的安全或者可容忍的行為，在別的國(guó)家里卻可能不是。

　　在一個(gè)規(guī)矩完全不同的陌生地方，即便是一個(gè)很有責(zé)任感的孩子也會(huì)偶爾迷失自己，會(huì)做出一些違反常理的事情。比如說孤身去一個(gè)陌生的城市旅行，不告訴其他人自己在哪兒，或者出入于黑市做些買賣。結(jié)果，這些年輕的游子們經(jīng)常會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不合時(shí)宜地出現(xiàn)在不該出現(xiàn)的地方。

　　然而，大學(xué)生們卻常常認(rèn)為那些監(jiān)禁海外美國(guó)人的恐怖故事永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)發(fā)生在自己身上。國(guó)際法專家Jeffrey R. Miller在他呈交給議會(huì)的論文《旅游者的合法權(quán)益》中指出，應(yīng)對(duì)那些行蹤不定的旅行者加以某種懲罰。在美國(guó)人眼里，這樣做是有點(diǎn)過分了。

　　然而，保障自身安全是每個(gè)人的責(zé)任。學(xué)校里有些課程是要求學(xué)生及其家長(zhǎng)一起參加的。因?yàn)樽鳛橐粋�(gè)外國(guó)人，你會(huì)更加容易受傷害。所以一定要比在國(guó)內(nèi)更小心，盡量不要找麻煩。還有一條簡(jiǎn)單卻極為重要的規(guī)律：無論你去哪兒，一定要讓別人知道;千萬不要單獨(dú)外出旅行。
